When a wide bottom bracket cartridge is used to gain pedal clearance (like the 206mm sealed BB in the attached pic from the Sick Bike Parts site), how is the chainring attached to the BB's spindle? I imagine you'd slide the chainring to the correct position on the right side of the spindle, and then use some sort of set screw arrangement to tighten the chainring to the spindle (maybe with a milled flat on the spindle to hold the set screw in place). That seems to be the way that the chainring in the attached picture works.*
Is this how it's done?
Also, does anybody know of a vendor of chainrings that would attach to the spindle this way?
Thanks!
* The chainring pic came from King's Motor Bikes' site. The chainring is part of a wide pedal crank kit that they sell. But I can't get any information from them ("Josh," the "tech guy" doesn't call back. I've spoken to "Tiffany" twice, but she has to defer technical questions to Josh). Anyway, they say that the wide pedal crank kit would take "two to three weeks" for delivery, so King's is out of the equation.
